“— HRISTMAS isan institu-
Gy tionanda spirit too good
to let die. The story of
| the Christ child is the
| sweetest story in the
wotld and it never be-
comes stale. When a
little child hears it for
the first time, he loves it and holds it.

. For centuries wise and simple alike hail
the joyful wonda? of he cradle at Bethlehem as the fitting prelude to the tragic
wonder of the cross. The tale of the first Christmas morning is that heavenly
messengers have manifested themselves in our earthly sphere; heaven and earth
are bound together; God and man are kin: the spiritual is linked to the material.
The Word or Expression of God is uttered through a human being. The religious
message of Christmas is fundamental. ‘Glory to God in the highest” is first in
order; then comes goodwill in and among men; and only then can peace abide.

Some do not definitely recognize this religi-
ous basis, yet gladly proclaim and obey the be-
hest of the Christmas message. They would
readily agree with Charles Dickens when he said:
“] have always thought of Christmastime, apart
from the veneration due to its sacred name and
origin—if anything belonging to it can be apart
from that—as a good time, a kind, forgiving,
charitable, pleasant time."

The institution which can create such a
spirit even for one day is worth preserving.

Christmas speaks to me with many tongues
and every tongue has its own significance.

1. It speaks with the tongue of rejuvena-
tion. There is here a new beginning for the race.
The Calendar of Christendom teaches us to date
our years not from the first Good Friday or
Easter, but from Christmas. Since the birth of
Christ, and by it, a new beginning has been
made in the history and every new year may be
detignated a fresh Annus Domini year of theLord.

2. It speaks with the tongue of deep my-
stery, mystery not of darkness, but of light
From the nature of the case the wisest and the
simplest must knee] in wonder before this real
manifestation of God, the Almighty, in flesh.
The Incarnation cives us the nearer vision of
God. The invitation of the Season is not: ‘‘O
come let us explain Him,"’ but: ‘‘O come let us
adore Him.”

the sign of God's sympathy with His creatures.
His desire to come near to them _ His love has
endured all human experiences from infancy to
death. ‘The divine became human that the
human may become divine.” So said one of the
early Fathers of the Church. Love gives itself
and longs to possess the answering love of its
beloved. Christ is God's unspeakable gift to us.
All Christmas giving rests upon the self-giving
of God. Christmas love seeks to give to those
whom we love, to those who atx in need, seeking
for nought in return.

4. It speaks with the tongue of humility. It
brings home to us the picture of one who ‘‘be-
came poor"’ for our sake. As we remember the
example of this great humility we dare not keep
the feast in pride. The poverty of the Birth
does not set class against class, but it does teach
how little the greatest things of life are bound up
with abundance of material goods. “Simplicity”
of life is compatible with much or with little of
this world's porsessions; it is a thing of the spirit;
and it is taught by the circumstances of the
‘Infant Chris.

5. It’speaks with the tongue of thanksgiving.

In retyrn for God's inestimable gift to us, how
can we show forth our gratitude? And for all
the blessings of this life, for friends, for children,
for cheer, for opportunities, for achievements, 4
Christmas bids us thank our Heavenly Father.
We gather in homes made bright by His presence;
we are linked by loving thoughts to friends and

It means also promise, growth, development, the
beginning of a process of spiritual progress, the end of which is not yet.

8. It speaks with the tongue of Hope. ‘Hope was born on Christmas day.’’
The keynote of the old carol strikes the keynote of the Christmas celebration; ‘‘Let

dawned on the darkness and despair of mankind, to give us light and guidance into

The Cratchits’ Christmas Dinner

There never was such a goose. Bob Said he didn’t believe there ever was such a
goose cooked, Its tenderness and flavor, size and cheapness, were the themes of
universal admiration. Eked out by apple-sauce and mashed potatoes, it was a
sufficient dinner for the whole family; indeed, as Mrs, Cratchit said with great de-
light (surveying one small atom of a bone upon the dish), they hadn't ate it all at
last! Yet every one had had enough, and the youngest Cratchits in particular, were
steeped in sage and onion to the eyebrows! But now, the plates being changed by
Miss Belinda, Mrs. Cratchit left the room alone—too nervous to bear witnesaes—to
take the pudding up and bring it in.

Suppose it should not be done encugh! Suppose it should break in turning out!
Suppose somebody should have got over the wall of the backyard and stolen it, while
they were merry with the goose—a spposition at which the two young Cratchits
became livid. All sorts of horrors were supposed.

Hallo! A great deal of steam! The pudding was out of the copper. A smell
like a washing-day! That was the cloth. A smell like an eating-house anda pastry
cook's next door to each other, with a laundress’s next door to that! That was the
pudding! In half a minute Mrs, Cratchit entered—flushed, but smiling proudly—
with the pudding, like a speckled cannon ball, so hard and firm, blazing in half-a-
quartern of ignited brandy, and bedig 1t with Christmas holly.—Dickens’ Christmas

Feasting at Christmas

Me go OHN BULL has
cause to look with
pride on his Christ.
mas board laden
with rich and
tempting fare
from roast turkey
or goose or sigioin
to plum-pudding and mimce
pies. But his pride—justi-

fiable as it is—would be a

little subdued if he could

look on at the Christmas din-
ner enjoyed by his forefathers
of past centuries.

The Christmas dinner of
those days of old was a banquet indeed—a perfect revel of feasting,
accompanied by a ceremonial worthy of such a high occasion.

Watch the imposing entry of the boar's head, heralded by a
flourish of trumpets, borne aloft on a dish of gold or silver by the
server, who, as he enters the banqueting-hall with his escort of
nobles, knights, and fair ladies, sings his ‘Caput apri defero, Reddens
laudes Domino.’

In the wake of this lordly dish, decked with ‘‘sweet rosemary
and bays,"’ follows the peacock, “food for lovers and meat for lords,”
with gilt beak and gay-colored plumage. To the strains of music it
is borne into the hall by the fairest lady-guest, with her retinue of
ladies almost as fair as hereelf.

é And these are but the heralds of the feast, which includes geese
and pheasants, capons and pies of carps’ tongues, hams and sirloins,
and so on, through the long and succulent list of Christmas fare, to
furmety, plum-porridge and mince-pies of gargantuan proportions,
until the table literally groans under its wealth of seasonable fare.
As for the drinks, they range from mead and ale, ‘‘so old that it is
almost sweet and treacly," to the bowls of wassail, with cherries
and crabapples bobbing gaily on their steaming surface.

For many a century the boar's head was the piece de resistance
of the Briton’s Christmas dinner, and it was fitting that such a noble
and historic dish should make its appearance with due ceremonial.

“Sweet rosemary and bays around it spread;

His foaming tusks with some large pippin graced,
Or midst those thundering spears an orange placed,
Sauce like himself, offensive to its foes,

The roguish mustard, dangerous to the nose."

For centuries, too, the peacock
ranked in dignity and favor next to
the boar's head. To prepare it for
this high festival was an elaborate
process calling for much skill. ‘The
skin,'’ we are told, ‘was first care-
fully stripped off, with the plumage
adhering; the bird was then roasted.
When cooked and partially cold it
was sewed up again in its feathers,
its beak was gilt and so sent to table.

Sometimes the whole body was covered with gold leaf, and a
piece of cotton, saturated with spirits, placed in the beak and lighted
before the carver commenced operations. It was stuffed with spices
and sweet herbs, basted with yolk of egg, and served with plenty of
gravy. It was over this splendid dish that the knight of old swore to
undertake any perilous enterprise that came in his way, and to
succour lovely woman in distress even at the cost of his life.

Another indispensable dish of these old-time feasts was fru-
menty or furmenty, a concoction of ‘‘wheat, clean fresh broth, and
sweet milk of almonds,"’ and served with fat venison or fresh mut-
ton. Plum-porridge, the progenitor of the succulent plum-pudding
of our day, which was always served with the first course of a Christ-
mas dinner, was made by ‘‘boiling beef or mutton with broth, thick-
ened with brown bread. When half boiled, raisins, currants, prunes,
cloves, mace and ginger were added; and when the mess had been
thoroughly boiled it was sent to table with the best meats.”

Such was the Christmas dinner in castle and hall in the ‘‘good
old days" of Merrie England. And while lord and squire were thus
feasting the poor man’s heart was made glad in the kitchen. “‘I
allow,’’ says Sir Roger de Coverley, ‘‘a double quantity of malt to
my small beer, and sct it running for twelve days to everyone that
callsforit. I have always a pivce of cold beef and a mince-pie upon
the table; and am wonderfully pleased to see my tenants pass away
a whole evening in playing their innocent tricks and smutting one
another.’ And with such seductive lure to the hall, you may be
sure that the villagers at the park-gates were not the folk to allow
snow-drifts to bar their way to the nut-brown ale, the joints of cold
beef, and the fun and frolic that were their accompaniment.

The straight-laced Puritans of Cromwell's time frowned on such
feasting and merry-making as a profanation of a holy season. And,
curiously enough, the chief objects of their detestation were the
plum-porridge and mince-pies. As a rhymester puts it:—

The high-shoe lords of Cromwell’s making
Were not for dainties—roasting, baking;
The chiefest bowl they found most good in
Was rusty bacon and bag pudding;

Plum broth was Popish, and mince-pie—

O that was flat idolatry!

Happily mince-pies and plum-porridge (in its successor, plum-
pudding) survived this stern disapproval and are ours to feast on
to-day, But the boat's head and the peacock have practically van-
ished from our Christmas board,

But Yuletide feasting of the past was not all of this magnificent
and orthadox character, For example, a Christmas banquet in
Charles I,’s time included such novel fare as a “soup of snails, a dish
of green fish buttered with eggs, a rabbit stuffed with oysters, and
a spinnage tart'’—all doubtless excellent fare, especially when ac-
companied by ale, surfeit-water, Canary, sack and Gascony winer.

More appealing to our modern tastes would have been the
dinner to which Pepys sat down on Christmas Day, 1658, which
consisted of ‘‘A dish of marrow-bones, a leg of mutton and a lom of
veal, three pullets and a dozen larks, all in a great dish, Also a
great tart, a neat's tongue, a dish of anchovies and prawns, and
cheese.”

And what hungry Briton of to-day would not hail a Christmas
pie like that provided for his guests in 1770 by a Sir Henry Grey.
“It was," we read, ‘‘nine feet in circumference, weighed 165 pounds,
«ad contained among other ingredients four geese, two turkeys,
two rabbits, four wild-duck, two snipe, seven blackbirds, and half
a dozen pigeons.’ This leviathan pie, we are told, ‘‘was brought
round at table on a four-wheeled specially constructed truck.”

Best of All Yule Cheer

HRISTMAS—the friendliest, jolliest season of all the year,
when folks naturally suffer from that good old-fashioned
malady—enlargement of the heart: With the sweet winds of
festivity blowing at will through city and suburb, down ancestral
chimneys and across snow-carpeted prairie, rich and poor alike
respond to their caress, With rigid conventions relaxed under the
spell of the Yuletide, merriment is provoked upon the slightest pro-
vocation, Let the bag of nuts that the bachelor is carrying break
its bounds, and litter the floor of the street car, spontaneous laughter
ripples through the trolley and strangers are chatting together with
the intimacy of neighbors,

Touched by the breath of geniality, sympathetic chords are
loosened and a hundred eyes dim with tears as pedestrians witness
the tragedy of a curly-headed, blue-eyed baby doll slip from its

wrappings and crash to the pavement, with the shabbily dressed
woman stooping in confusion to gather up the fragments. Blind
beggars, with their ears tuned to the sweetest melody in all the
world—the dropping of nickels and dimes into their tin cupe—
listen throughout the Christmastide to a symphony of silver coin.
Apartment house dwellers, with a world all its own abiding under
one roof, wax friendly at a glimpee of the tinsel-hung tree across the

corridor, At the Yuletide there is no need of an introduction and

will never forget the kindliness of the employer who invited her to
share the merrymaking in his own home. The university boy will
never forget how the folk at the church had entreated him to come
and help them eat up the turkey on Christmas Day—assuring hie
it would be a real kindness to keep them company over Yuletide.

spicy odors and the girl-wife from down the street making the

In the cities, where strangeness and aloneness arg taken for
granted, it is during the Yuletide that the friendly halnd-clasp is
accepted as the best gift of the season. The little stenographer from

Didsbury Retains
Kremar Cup.

Didsbury Curlers Win from
Olds by Good Margin.

The Olds Curling Club sent their
two strongest rinks to Didsbury in
quest of the Kremar trophy on
Tuesday evening, but were not
successful, both Olds rinks going
down to defeat.

The Samis and McCloy game
was a very close contest all the way
through. McCloy counted four on
the last end, which gave him the
decision by a score of 15-17.

Julien’s rink had the edge on
Gooder’s throughout the game and
and at no time were in any danger,
Julien winning by seven points.

Keep Didsbury Busy.

Tho merchants of Didsbury are doing
their bit in solving the Christmas
shopping problem for the people of
this entire district. What to purchase
for Christmas gifts has, and always
will, entail a certain amount of worry
to the buyer, but s‘tting in comfort
by your own fireside, carefully study-
ing every advertisement in this issue,
will, in a great measure, solve many
of your difficulties. What is especi-
a'ly pleasing to the thrifty is, that
the purse can be gauged, as, in many
instances, prices are queted, the mer-
chents being confident that the same
will stand the test of any outside
competition. It is particularly notice-
able in perusing the merchants’ mes-
sages, that they have in their stores
a large assortment of goods speclally
selected for the Christmas trade dis-
played for your own examination as
to quality which, when all is said and
done, is the r-gulator of price vart-
ance.

There is no hit and miss in this
method of purchasing; no disappoint-
ments, and your hard-earned cash re-
mains in your purse unt'l an cxachange
is made for a satisfactory purchase,
to our mind, the ideal way of doing
business, Read all the ads, they mean
the saving of many dollars, especially
at Christmas season, when there are
so many knocks at the door of the
pocketbook, and after all, there is a
delightful “kick” in the trading with]
the home merchant, especially at his
invitation.

any Mounting Toll of Accidents

“The problem now is to speed up the adjustment of humanity so that it |

will keep pace with the rap'dly increasinyy development of machinery.”

In these words a writer in a recent United States health publication
eoncludes an article dealing at some length with the steady and alarming
increase in the number of deaths resulting from accidents. Illustrative of this
nec’ for the whole human family to adjust itself to this changing age, it is

po nted out that whereas adults rarely are the victims of fatal scalding in |

the home, this type of accident is not at all uncommon among childen who
have not learned to adjust themselves to the ordinary habits of domestic
civ lization.

While most public attention centres around the automobile? because frorn

it :esult more accidental deaths than from any other one thing, and because |

accidental deaths associated with the automobile have increased so rapidly
during recent years, this emphasis tends to overshadow all other hazards and
muy lead parents to feel that children are perfectly safe when out of the
streets and in the home. As a matter of fact, the writer in question points
out, the mortality toll from other accidents is more than double that from
automobiles.

Indicating the enormous death toll from accidents, figures are quéted
showing that in the single state of Illinois, last year, there were more deaths
from accidents than the combined Union and Confederate armies lost in the
bloody battle of Gettysburg, in the Civil War. Further, that in the last seven
years accidents in that one State accounted for more deaths than the United
States lost in soldiers “killed in action’ 'in the Great War.

Coming nearer home, we learn from figures compiled by the Provincial
Yire Commissioner for Saskatchewan, and extensively published in the

eweekly press of this Province,.that during the first nine months of this year
more persons lost their lives through the improper and careless use of
yrasoline and coal oil than occurred from similar causes in any complete
yeur for five or s'x years past.

All of which only serves to reinforce the opinion expressed in the article
f:om which we have quoted that “practically all accidents happen because
the people involved are out of tune with their cnvirenment. Sometimes the
colhsequences are fatalito the person who is out of tune, and sometimes they

fatal to innocent people.”
expressed that these -will come under control “just as soon as people

ierally learn to adapt themselves to the new machine age.”

Too much emphasis, perhaps, is laid on the need for more prohibitive
I gislation and more étrimgent regulations, and too little upon the education
of the people, ang «specially children, in the exercise of care and plain
common sense. Governmental and munic'pal enactments and regulations
there must be, but it has; been amply demonstrated that speed limits alone
Wil not stop reckléss driving of motor cars, ‘“‘stop"’ signs will not prevent
level cross'ng accidents, the label “Poison” does not deter a young child
trom drinking a harmful drug carelessly left within its reach, while matches
ind loaded firearms lying around still have an irresistible attraction for all
youngsters. t

The whole country is crying out for more good roads, hard-surfaced, all-

ather highways. No doubt they are an economic necessity and should be
provided to the» extent that the community can afford to pay for their
construction and continued maintenance. But, until the human family
rcadjusts itself to this new age, every additional mile of good road likewise

additional incentive th “speed up” and take risks they would not dare to

clement. Adjustment to the age in which we live must be speeded up if this

}lot and terrible economic loss of the mounting death toll from accidents is

to be removed from our: present-day civilization:

Grain Act Being Rewritten

When Completed Meetings Will Bo
Held To Receive Suggestions

Steady progress was being made in
rewriting the Canada grain act, E. D.
Ramsey, chairman of the Board of
Grain Commissioners stated in W nni-
peg. As soon as it is completed, a ser-
ies of meetings will be held in Mon-
treal, Toronto and at one or more
points in each of the prairie ~ prov-
inces. Suggestions will be received

be ready for the open’ng of the
|Dominion Parl’ament. The act is be-

Ottawa. So many changes were made
in the act last session, that it was
believed better to have the whole act
re-drafted. No radical changes in

very thoroughly into that last
spring.

The chayges made in the act pre-
venting mixing in the statutory

this year because th ecrop did not
lend itself to mix'ng even if there
had been no law aganst it, Mr.
Ramsey said. Almost 90 per cent. of
the wheat crop was inside statutory
grades and 80 per cent. graded num-
ber one or number two.

RHEUMATIC PAINS

|Cannot Be Rubbed Out — the
Trouble Must Be Treated

| Through the Blood

The pain of rheumatism is some-
thing that you cannot rub out. Every
{sufferer from rheumatism has been
advised to rub this or that liniment
or oil on the affected part, but after
all the rubbing the- pain remained.
!'Thin blood and rheumatism -come to-
{gether and if they are properly
| treated will go together.
means thin blood, and thin blood is
|something that can be corrected, so
why not build up the blood until the
rheumatic poisons are driven out?

This is exactly what is done in the
treatment of rheumatism with Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills. Rheumatism in

any form shows improvement as the |

| thin blood is built up, and when the
}poisons in the blood are overcome
and driven out rheumatism disap-
| pears and does not return so long as
!the blood is kept rich and red. The
great value of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills in the treatment of rheumat'sm

is proved by the case of Mr, Thomas |

!Martin, of Novar, Ont., who says: ~-
“For some years I was so_ badly
troubled with rheumatism that I
; could hardly walk, and suffered great

‘pain. I had medical treatment but
did not get much relief. Then I de-
cided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills

,and after taking the p‘lls for some |

time the trouble disappeared and has
not since shown the least sign of
returning.”

You can get these pills from your

druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a}

French Engineer Claims His Device

The weather of the Atlantic soon

M. William Loth, a French engin-
eer, has perfected a radio control
which he claims will make it poss ble
for an inexperienced aviator to pilot
his ‘plane from Paris to New York
without fear of runn'ng into bad
weather. Similarly, ships could be
nav'gated by sailors with no know-
\ledge of compasses, sextants or

A Mixed Farming Country

| Saskatchewan Increasing Dairy and }
Poultry Output

While the fame of the Province of

| Saskatchewan rests principally on the |

|fact that within its boundaries more

|than half of the wheat grown in all |

| Canada is produced, it is also a very |

jimportant dairying and mixed farm-
jing country. The province supplies |
a substantial quantity of butter for |
|the bread it produces. In October of |
this year the output of creamery but- |
| ter was 1,191,895 pounds, an increase
of 400,928 pounds or 50.7 per cent. |
| over the production in the correspond- |
ing month last year. Saskatchewan is
also an important factor in the egg
and poultry market. Many a prize |
turkey that graces the dining table |
in homes in Eastern Canada and the |
United States at Thanksgiving and |
Christmas is the product of Saskatch-
;ewan, Practically all the eggs and
poultry from the farms of the prov- |
ince are marketed by the Saskatch-
ewan Egg and Poultry Pool, the di-
rectors of which are all women, farm-

ers’ wives, except one mere man.

Useful In Camp. Explorers, sur- |
veyofs, prospectors and hunters will |

Shops On Atlantic Liner

Fully Equipped Store Now Accommo-
dates Passengers On “Aquitania" |
An innovation on the British Atlan- |

tic I'ner “Aquitania"” takes the shape |

of a tailor’s, hoseiry, and general
shopping centre. Until now the bar- |
|ber's shop has been the place on}
board ship where many “side-lines”
beyond those belonging to the bar-
ber's trade might be found. Now there |
{s installed on the “Aquitania” a fully |
equipped West End store, in which |
the traveller in one direction can fit |
himself out for his tour in Europe, |
and they who have been too hurried |
to give time to clothes can replenish |
their wardrobes before returning. The |

HeAsked Them
Does It Pay

To Clip Cows?

CERTAIN farmer wanted
the facts about clipping cows
so he wrote us for names of
those owning clipping machines.
He wrote them. Now he himself
is so pleased with the Stewart
clipping machine he sent us the
letters which made him decide the
clipping machine is a good in-
vestment. Here are some of them:
Hawkesbury.
“aS ehert ef help clipping re-
duces time necessary to keep cows
clean--and must say since using
the machine have not had any
trouble with lice.”
Jordan.
“Before we clipped our cows we
had a high bacteria count, where-
as after we clipped them we hada
very lew bacteria count
thus improving the quality of
our milk.”
Whitby.
“And it certainly is a wonderful
help in reducing lice.”
Gadshill.
“We find it much easier te
keep them clean and free
frem vermin when clipped. To
have clean milk you must have
clean cows. We raise quite a
number of heifers every year and
in that way we always have a
number of cows to sell. The
clipping so improves the appear-
ance of the cows that I think
it easily adds § er 10 dollars
te the value of an animal."’

HOW TO CLIP Cows
Manure, the principal source of
bacteria, cannot collect and at
milking time rub off into the paif
if hair on udders, underline, flanks
and tail is kept clipped short all
winter.

Lice seem to congregate along the
spine, which explains why some
farmers clip a six-inch width from
tail to ears,

Farmers who have warm stables
and drinking water inside, usually
clip their cows all over in the fall.

Proposal That

Food Ships In

War Time Shall Have Freedom
Of Seas, Is Strong Peace Gesture

President Hoover's proposal that
ships shall have the freedom of the |
seas in war time, clashes directly with |
the master strategy of war. That is
why, no doubt, the President puts it
forward only as a suggestion, some-
th’ng to be implanted in the public
mind at a time when the main trend
of thought is running against war.

It is a preparedness measure, this |
utterance of Mr. Hoover's; it accords
with his plea for concentration of |
thought and energy upon prepared- |
ness for peace. For while statesmen |
and citizenry are striving to devise
means to settlescontroversies that |
might lead to war, science is steadily
at work on means to make war more
horrible. Not that the scientists are
war makers. But that they respond
naturally to the age-old urge of the
war phychosis.

Starvation has always been one of;
war's Weapons. Only since its all-
enveloping poss'bilities as developed
in the World War have become so
apparent to mankind has starvation
of a whole people especially of wo-
men and children, evoked abhor-
rence in the peace time that succeeds
war. Science may devise greater and |
greater weapons of war; strategy |
may counsel the winning of victory |
by involvement of a whole people in |
the enormity of defeat. sut the
Twent'eth Century has made war s0
all-inclusive that the weapon of star-
vation, tolerable when its siege was
relatively limited to scope, must soon,
if it does not ‘now, command a new
place in the view of humanity. For,
instead of making war more horrible,
this advance would make it less!
effective, and so less the resort of
nitions. |

A thought that should) make us
|pause and consider for a while the
{problem of juvenile delinquency, is
lthe recent statement of a police
| officer that fully sixty per cent. of
, the crime committed in the average
Narge city, is the work of boys under
twenty-one years of age.

It is a fascinating study to try to!
determine from whence the criminal
classes spring. Almost invariably an |
investigation shows that in every

streets at all hours of the night.

SYNOPSIS

Al Stone, singing waiter at Blackie
Joe's New York night club, is loved
by Grace Farrel, the cigarette girl,
but he doesnt know it. He marries
Molly Wonton, a ballad singer, and
wins fame as a composer of popular
songs. When their baby, Junior, is
about two years old, Molly elopes
with John Perry, Al's best friend. She
and Perry take the child Al adores
and sail for France. Al, completely
broken by his loss, disappears from
Broadway and becomes a derelict.
One day the sight of Grace Farrel on
the street arouses old memories. He
returns to Blackie Joe's at
talking to Blackie in his office until
Blackie is called outside by a patron.

CHAPTER XXIV

Blackie crossed the main room
briskly to shake hands with the de-
parting patrons and urge them to
come again. But as he talked his
mind was working on Al's problem.
Suddenly he reached the conclusion
that Grace Farrel was the logical
one to approach Al. She

his courage when no one else could.

Grace worked at a desk in an al-
cove on the other side of the main
room. <A screen concealed her view
of the noom and she had not seen
Al and Blackie cross the floor, Now
she had just completed her ac-
counts for the day. She was de-
c'dedly sleepy, but her eyes opened
wide when Blackie stood before her.
From his expression she realized that
something important had happened.

“Guess who's here?”

“Who---Blackie? Not-—-not Al?”

“The same. Just wandered in a
few minutes ago—looks as if he'd
been sleeping on the wharves for a
month.”

Grace's hand darted to her cheek
and pressed hard against it. So, it
had happened, the thing she had
dreamed of and worked so hard to
bring about. Al was found!

“Listen, girlie.” Blackie leaned
forward confidentially. ‘He's in my
office. I've talked to him, tried to
make him stage a come-back, but I
can’t make a dent. He just shakes

Grace rose. She was listening,

concentrating, planning. Every life
has at least one big moment — th's
was to be hers! The soul and future
of a talented, lovable man was at
stake! As she planned she prepared
for the big moment in a feminine way
—patting her hair into shape, re-
arranging a stray curl, examining her
lips ina mirror. Then she turned de-
terminedly toward the private office.
Black'e stood in the main room,
staring after Grace as she walked
toward the office. He decided to stay
away from Al fo¥ a few moments and

studying the famillar pictures on the
wall, his nervous tension made him
want to jump up and leave. But as
he stood up, determined to walk out,
he saw Blackie’s old piano in a corner
of the room, beh'nd the desk.

He walked slowly toward it. Yes,
it was the same old battered instru-
ment; he had composed some of his
early hits while sitting in front of it.
Without thinking, he ran his hands
Vghtly up and down the keys. What
fingers! They were stiff, grimy,
bru’sed, sore. Their play across the
keys was painful and slow, yet in the
|}old days they had danced up and
down the scale in nimble ease. . :
Al looked up, hearing a faint sound,
and turned his head. Grace stood
in the doorway.

Grace had entered as quietly as

before he saw her, for she knew that
|in that flash second her
; might give her a clue as to the best
| way to proceed with him. Now, as he
stared up at her with startled eyes,
his really pitiable condition was ac-
curately revealed. She answered his
stare with an expression of tender
sympathy.

“A1?"' she whispered softly.

“Grace! Why, its really you!”

For a moment she thought he

| save himself from breaking down. All

[as force of her deep maternal spirit
was directed toward him; she longed
to take him in her arms and comfort
him.

| “You've changed a lot!"’ he ex-

| claimed In astonishment.

| Again Grace smiled, and deftly |
turned the conversation. ‘How have

| you been, Al?”

| He glanced down at the frayed

cuffs of his coat sleeves. “Judge
, for yourself.” He grinned ruefully.

“But, Al, you don't have to’ look
|like that. You have money.”
“Yes, but I don't want it
| use it.”

Grace waited a moment, She had
the same sense of the passive bar-
}rier of despair between Al and her
|that Blackie had felt. Yet there
must be a way to cross that barrier!
| She said firmly:

“Blackie tells me you mean to stage
a come-back.’

Al shook his head. “Blackie's
wrong."” But as he said that the
young song writer glanced away; he
was ashamed to face Grace. Quick
as a flash Grace saw the move and
thought: “If he isn’t past shame,
there’s hope.”

“Listen, Al,” she said. ‘You have
the gift of song. Millions of people are
}made happy by the things you write.
| Do you think you have any right to
crush that gift and turn your back
on all those people?”

“That's just preaching, Grace, <A
| man in my situation has a right to

he doesn't hurt any one I don't

“Yes, you do,’

Al shot an astonished, questioning
look at Grace.

“You hurt me, for one person,” she
said gravely. “Of course that doesn't

was a terrible ordeal for her to talk
in this accus'‘ng way to Al, but his
case needed it. Black’e had said,
“Treat him rough.” Grace saw that
only drastic treatment would arouse
him.

Al winced visibly and reached to-
ward the piano for support. He
couldn't believe his ears—gentle
Gracie talking to him th's way! Her
eyes were like steel.

“Junior will never know about me,”
jhe answered defiantly. ‘No one w'll
tell him. He'll grow up believing I
disappeared and died in some un-
known place. That is what is going
to happen to me. He'll never see me
as you see me now—a bum!”

Then Grace played her strongest
card. “Yes, he will know about
you!’’ she c’ed, with blazing eyes.
‘T’'ll see to it that he does know! I'll
tell him!”

Stone! Don't forget it!"

Al believed Grace meant what she
said. He staggered for a moment,
then crouched and began moving to-

Soviets Pass Drastic Law

Russians Refusing To Return To
Country On Call Are Declared
Outlaws

Hereafter Soviet Citizens working
or residing abroad who may refuse
to obey the summons of their govern-
ment to return to Russia will ad-
judged guilty of treason. When finally
taken into custody they will be sent
to prison and shot within 24 hours
after identity is established.

This drastic measure was taken
by the central executive committee of
the Soviet Union in the light of the
recent refusal of M. Bessodovsky, of
the Soviet embassy at Paris, to return
to Moscow to face trial on charges of
embezzlement.

The new decree is retroactive and
| declares that all such Soviet cit'zens
| W ll be classed as outlaws and desert-
ers, and as enemies of the workers
and peasants. All their property will
be confiscated and their cases tried by
the supreme court of the union and
their names broadcast as outlaws.

KEEP THEM HAPPY BY
KEEPING THEM WELL

It is natual for children to be
happy, act've and full of fun. When
they are fretful, fussy and disinclin-
ed to play you may be sure some-
thing is wrong. Almost invariably
that something Illes in the digestive
tract.

It is to meet the need for an ab-
solutely safe corrective of childhood
ailments that Baby’s Own Tablets
have been designed. They gently
regulate the stomach and bowels and
thus drive out constipation and indi-
gestion; break up colds and simple
fevers and allay teething pains.
Concerning them Mrs. W. E. Forsyth,
Dover, N.B., writes:—"I would not be
without Baby’s Own Tablets as I
know of nothing to equal them for
fretful, fussy babies who are troubled
with colds or sour stomach.”

Baby's Own Tablets are sold by
med'cine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from the Dr. Williams’
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Made Successful Flight

| Windmill ’Plane Remarkably Steady
Even In Strong Wind

An airplane fitted with four wind-
;mill ‘planes, which revolve, recently
| made a tour of Europe, and landed at
|Lympne, England. Although there
|was a fairly strong wind, it was re-
markably steady in its flight. The
|craft was p'loted by M. Elton, of
Paris. When flying over Lympne, it
| circled several times, and eventually
came straight down from a height of
several hundred feet, making a per-
fect landing.

“God loveth a cheerful giver.” —
2 Corinthians ix. 7.

Give! as the morning that flows out
of heaven;
Give! as the waves when their chan
nel {s riven;
Give! as the free air and sunshine is
given;
Lavishly, utterly, joyfully give;—
Not the waste drops of thy cup over-
flowing,
Not the faint sparks of thy hearth
ever glowing,
Not a pale bud from the June roses
blowing,—
Give as He gave thee, who gave
thee to live!
—Rose Terry Cooke
We are not at all sure that we shall

best part of possession.
